Georgetown MA in Arab Studies (MAAS) (2012 and previous applicants)

[news2yous]

Hi everyone,

I see that Middle East and North African studies are kind of scattered throughout the forum, and not many people have started threads about contemporary studies. I'm very interested in Georgetown's program, and I've seen that a lot of people on here have applied and been accepted. I would be interested in seeing what it takes to get into the program with full funding, and so I'm starting this thread. Hopefully this can serve as a reference point for future applicants of this and other, comparable programs.

Please type your info and stats below. Thanks and good luck! !بالتوفيق

I also applied for the MAAS, I will fill in my details once I get back from work.

My friend just heard she's on the WL there for Georgetown's MAAS....does anyone know anything about how many people make it onto the WL and how many make it off?
